Do the tablets go down as one swallow or as a taper?
One day. Take the counted tablets together unless the prescriber splits for tolerance. Five breakfasts is a forum calendar.
Water, empty stomach. Food is a timing error. Empty-stomach scan.
I took two tablets at 70 kg. Take three more now?
Call the clinic. Do not complete a remembered five at 1 a.m. without a check. Confirm kilograms and that the chart still says intestinal strongyloidiasis.
Bring the clock and the bottle. A second sitting is not automatic. Label-lane if the species is even in doubt: label lane.
What if the scale says 65 kg one morning and 66 kg the next?
Those sit in different bands. 51 to 65 kg is four tablets. 66 to 79 kg is five. Reweigh on a clinic scale if the household scale flickers.
Do not split the difference and take four and a half. There is no 1.5-tablet row. Call the prescriber at a true border.
How do you count for a 17 kg child?
The 15 to 24 kg strongyloides row is one 3 mg tablet. Safety under 15 kg is not established. Age is not a conversion factor.
Do not give a 17 kg child an adult five-tablet memory 'to be sure.' Show the band on paper to every adult in the house.
Walk through an 82 kg calculate step.
82 kg times 200 mcg is 16,400 mcg, which is 16.4 mg. That is not five tablets. The clinician turns 16.4 mg into a 3 mg integer. Do not stay on a 70 kg memory.
This paragraph will not invent a 6 mg tablet to make the maths prettier. Retail strength stays 3 mg. 3 mg lock.
How do you show the count to a caregiver?
Write kg times 200 mcg/kg, then divide by 3000 mcg per 3 mg tablet, or point at the printed band. Verbal 'about five' fails when someone is 79 kg versus 81 kg.
Tape the integer to the bag. The 200 mcg/kg scan is the lock. This URL is the counting gesture.
